International crimes such as illegal export of plastic waste are increasing rapidly China's acceptance restrictions September 17, 5:05
Due to the influence of China's regulation on the acceptance of plastic waste, it has become difficult to dispose of and store it in various countries around the world, and it has been found that international crimes such as hiding where the waste came from and exporting it illegally are increasing rapidly.
Interpol = International Criminal Police Organization is increasing vigilance.
Due to the strict regulation of acceptance of plastic waste from abroad by China, the amount of plastic waste stored mainly in developed countries is increasing, making it difficult to dispose of it.
When Interpol investigated crimes related to plastic waste based on the investigation information of member countries, it was found that illegal exports and acceptances have increased rapidly since the time of the adulthood.
Among them, it was confirmed that the source of garbage was hidden and then exported to Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe, and that illegal recycling facilities in Asia brought in garbage from Europe and gained unfair profits.
In addition, there are a series of illegal incinerations and landfills using forged permits.
Patricia Gloray, who compiled the report at Interpol on this situation, said, "In order to eliminate crime and protect the environment, investigative agencies in each country need to promote information sharing."
